Whether burnout manifests as numbness, disconnection, difficult countertransference, or heightened reactivity, every clinician knows what it's like to lose the spark of connection and joy in our calling. This workshop will address burnout prevention in both our professional and personal lives. We'll trace the link between the mixed blessing for many of us of growing up as caregivers in our families of origin and our vulnerability to burnout when our identity as caregiver is challenged. You'll learn new burnout-prevention strategies, such as "directed letter writing," "the soft-boiled egg meditation," and the "you're not it" mantra for addressing the sometimes overwhelming feeling of helplessness in our work and restoring balance in our lives. Bring your beginner's mind and sense of humor.
